How do antibodies destroy pathogens?
binding to antigens on the pathogens.
The antibodies not only bind to antigens...but once bound with the antigens on the viruses they encounter. The viruses clump together and are destroyed by phagocytes.
Thanks to...my BRILLIANT mind!! :P
YOU ARE THE BEST!How do antibodies inactivate pathogens?
Antibodies bind themselves to the pathogens to prevent them from entering or damaging cells. Pathogens have a collection of antigens which allows it to invade and destroy the cells. but the antibodies have the ability to destroy them.
How do antibodies kill pathogens?
well... basically the antibodies eat the pathogens and sh*ts them out again. That's not it at all. Antibodies destroy pathogens by binding to antigens on the pathogen.
What kinds of cells produce antibodies?
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell which secrete antibodies to destroy pathogens.
How do phagocytic leucocytes help to protect against disease?
They produce antibodies to destroy pathogens
Do vaccines destroy viruses only?
Vaccines do not destroy pathogens, they give the immune system antibodies so it can destroy a pathogen before it causes an infection. Vaccines do exist for some bacterial infections.
What do white blood cells release to destroy pathogens?
Antibodies are released by B-lymphocytes (one of thekinds of white blood cells)
What ways does the human body protect itself from infection?
White blood cells help to defend against pathogens by: ■ ingesting pathogens ■ producing antibodies, which destroy particular bacteria or viruses ■ producing antitoxins, which counteract the toxins released by the pathogens.
Do antibodies prevent pathogens from infecting other cells?
Yes. Antibodies do prevent pathogens from infecting other cells.
2 ways in which white blood cells destroy disease-causing micro organisms?
antibodies in the blood kill pathogens in the blood
How are pathogens made less harmful by antibodies?
Bacteria are made less harmful with antibodies by either killing the bacterium outright, or by weakening the bacterial production and letting the body's natural systems destroy the bacteria.
What is the substance that causes the body to produce antibodies?
Pathogens will cause the body to produce antibodies. Pathogens are organisms that cause disease. Pathogens include bacteria,viruses,and fungi.
Cells that produce antibodies that help destroy the pathogens are called what?
I Really Dnt Knw Thts Y IAsk Can Yall Tell Mhee Plz
What do b cells make that bind to the pathogens and destroy them?
B cells make antibodies that grab on to the antigens and make them clump together then something eats them.
How do vertebrates fend off pathogens?
Vertebrate animals have something called an immune system. It consists of several types of white blood cells. They work in tandem to detect pathogens, then engulf them or attack them with antibodies to destroy them.
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called what?
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called antigens. Antibodies destroy pathogens by binding to the antigens on the pathogen.
What are three ways that antibodies help destroy pathogens?
The antigen itself cannot destroy the pathogen but here are three ways it helps out: 1. Antibodies can clump antigens together in order to enhance phagocytosis 2. Antibodies can activate the cytotoxic cell responses (a chemical that destroys antibody-bound antigen). 3. Antibodies can activate B lymphocytes, which results in the production on plasma and memory cells.

Do antibodies make blood clot?
No, anti bodies destroy foreign pathogens. Platelets make blood clot by shooting out little chemicals called fibrins at the wound.
What are antibodies?
Antibodies are chemicals that the body makes to stop pathogens from infecting other cells.
Does ab blood have antibodies?
It does, just not for other blood. It has antibodies for viruses and pathogens though.
When b cells secrete antibodies does it fight against endogenous or exogenous pathogens?
exogenous pathogens.
What are the three classifications of protists?
the are inflamation ;pathogens and antibodies
A phagocyte is a?
Of your white blood cells, about a quarter are called lymphocytes. They release antibodies to destroy pathogens. Phagocytes are another type of white blood cell; they make up roughly 75% of the body's WBCs. Phagocytes ingest microbes, instead of killing them with antibodies.
Is producing antibodies a response by human white blood cells to pathogens?
Yes. Antibodies are made in response to pathogens. The antibodies are made by WBCs. These antibodies are a "match" to the pathogen. The next time the body is attacked by this pathogen, the antibody response will be much faster and a person will recover much sooner.
How do antibodies stop the spread of pathogens?
Antibodies stops the spread of pathogens by being activated by antigens the antigens then stick on pathogen. Pinpointing where these pathogens are in body so they can work together to kill pathogen, slow it down or trap them in one spot.
How white blood cell react in response to pathogens?
Some white blood cells (WBCs) signal the immune response, others produce antibodies, and others engulf and destroy infectious agents.
What are white blood cells which produce antibodies called?
all wbc produce antibodies to attach the the pathogens antigens.
How do white blood cells shape help them?
white blood cells have different shapes, each shape has a function, for instance granulocytes (referred to as granulocytes because of the granulated cytoplasm) ingest pathogens, agranulocytes (non- granulated cytoplasm ) release antibodies to destroy the harmful pathogens
Are antigens and pathogens the same?
Pathogens are the disease causing agent while antigens are found in the antibodies that fight against the pathogens. So in short, no they aren't the same.
What are the actions of b cells and t cells in an immune response?
T cells and B cells help filter the body out from disease and antibodies T cells are killer cells that destroy pathogens and B cells create Antibodies. Now you know what are T cells and B cells! :)
2 types of white blood cells?
lymphocytes: produce antibodies and identify pathogens phagocyes: phagocytose/digest pathogens
How do antibodies fight pathogens?
1) Antibodies bind to the pathogen to prevent them from entering or damaging cells 2) Antibodies coat the pathogen stimulating the removal of pathogen by macrophages and other cells 3) They trigger destruction of pathogens by stimulating other immune responses such as complement pathway
How does producing antibodies protect you against disease?
antibodies are specific to a pathogen's antigen, it sticks the pathogen together with other pathogens, ruptures the organism or disables them. This stops you getting too many pathogens which give you diseases
Which cells produce antibodies?
B lymphocytes are the white blood cells that produce plasma cells that produce antibodies. Antibodies are special proteins that recognize foreign materials and help the body destroy or neutralize them. The type of white blood cell that secretes antibodies to kill microorganisms is called lymphocytes. The other kind of white blood cell is called the phagocyte, which kills pathogens by engulfing them (basically, "eating" the microbe).
What is the difference between antigens and antibodies?
Antigens cause the disease and antibodies attack and destroy them
